This is the first inter club race for the season. It is over a 9km cross country course.
The more members from Marlborough the better chance we have of bringing the shield over the hill.
To get there travel over the Whangamoa Hill until you get to Hira School, Hira Garage and Dairy then the turnoff is on your right.
Allow plenty of time to get there. 1.45pm for 2.00pm start. It is traditionally cold so take warm gear.
Stay and enjoy Nelson hospitality afterwards.
The Burton Cup is the oldest trophy in the Club. It is a Cross Country handicapped race at Marathon Downs, 737 Marama Road, Seddon. Look for the Harrier sign.

With the Woodbourne being canceled it seems a shame not to use the training and preparation. Andrew and I are going to run a measured half marathon on Sunday at 9:00am. Leaving from Rifle Range carpark doing a loop of town and finishing back at the carpark
It will be a fast flat course. I’ll post a map later. We will run it as a race recording the best time we can
PM me if you’re interested in joining us. I’ll record times and might even arrange a drink station
Cheers Pete
From the rifle range car park head down hospital onto the Sutherland Stream walkway then onto Alabama Rd past the hall onto the Rail trail. A loop of the industrial estate and then back down the rail trail to the hall. There will be a drink station outside the hall which you can grab a drink in both directions (6k & 12k)
Then continue down the rail trail until Stuart Street. Down Stuart Street to the river trail and turn left.
Stay on the river trail through town until the dump exit. Turn onto wither Rd past the recycling centre and then turn right onto Taylor pass road returning via the track back to the carpark
Go to http://www.kaitunaridgesramble.kiwi.nz/ for details. The Ramble is a 12km loop.
